Nicole Kidman's one inch taller than her spouse, Keith Urban.

Researchers consistently find that women will say they prefer taller men online, and the taller women are, the more important they say it is that their partner be even taller.

I remember one friend saying that he was a bit hesitant to go on a date with a girl he met because she was a good five inches taller than him.
